Updates to Article Attributes

Body was changed:

An abdominoschisis refers to a spiltsplit +/- defect in the abdomen. Some authors however use the term synonymously with a gastroschisis. When the defect continues into the thoracic region it is then termed a thoraco-abdominoschisis. A large abdominoschisis is considered part of the limb body wall complex 2.
